Making an informed decision |
|||
The goal of laser vision correction is to reduce or eliminate
dependence on spectacles and contact lenses. What this means
is that when successful, you can carry out many of your daily
activities including driving and taking part in sports without the need
to wear spectacles or contact lenses. If spectacles are needed, they
will be of much reduced power and thickness.
Satisfied patients are usually those with realistic expectations. As with
all surgeries, there is no guarantee of perfect results. Some residual
power may be present that require wearing spectacles or contact
lenses for clearer vision.
The surgery does not alter the aging process of the eye. Those
approaching the age of 40 years or older may find that they need
to use reading glasses after the procedure. Complications, although
uncommon, can occur. We will provide additional
information about
the procedure during
the eye examination
which is part of the
pre Clearvision Epi-
LASIK Evaluation. We
will answer all your
questions before you
